    I think a lot of people, especially “newbies” just starting to do their own nails don’t understand what peel base is for. And I see so many trying to alter it into something it was never designed for. It was designed for very short wear time. Not going to lie, I get frustrated when I see people say “what am I doing wrong? My peel base doesn’t last but a day or two”. That’s all it’s supposed to last. It is not designed to wear the same mani for 2 weeks . It’s great for people that do swatches, change their Manis multiple times per week. And now people are using it as an easy removal, but want their mani to to not pop off, lift, nothing. Yes, soaking sucks. But it’s not that bad if you’re using the right products.

    I love your videos and tips! I tried the rice removal method & found it didn’t work great for me. Instead I use hot water (as hot as you can tolerate) in a bowl and in the baggie with the acetone I put in 2 dryer sheets (cheap ones). It takes about 5 mins a hand. Just an option if you don’t have rice available and the addition of the dryer sheets really sped up the removal process for me.

    Hi Marla, Thank you so much for your easy to follow instructions. I haven’t even polished my nails in over 25 years. And when I was taken to the nail salon for my birthday and had a gel manicure I was in love with the results. But for me to go to the salon to have it done is outside of my budget. This video and the one you did for beginner to do dip nails are Awesome! I was able to remove the gel completely from my nails in less about 7 minutes give or take. And I have successfully done my nails with dip powder. All by following your videos. Because of what you shared I had the confidence I needed to do my own nails. And they look beautiful! Not yet salon perfect but oh so close. Thank you again. May God continue to bless you and your family.

    Too funny! I haven't had a chance to watch you in about 2 wks! (Shame on me) and wanted to say I too have broken up with peel base! Tried it for a wk or so and being a bartender I had to do my nails 3 times in a wk. It's great for trying new colors, but I just need to make some swatches so I can see the color before applying. Also I've cut my nails down like you. Easier for me and 3rd I need to stop buying so many products! I went crazy with Igel special and last purchase was liquids and dips from Sparkle and Co, which btw were very sweet to send me a dip sample. For just starting this journey early April I've ended up with close to 40 dips plus supplies, which I have no business doing. But you've taught me so much that I became obsessed lol. I am getting compliments on my nails almost daily which I have to thank you for! So the last thing I need is the oil you use and learn how to swatch colors which I have also purchased but need to do and I'm done shopping for a while....hopefully, but will continue to watch you. You're amazing! Thank you!! Love your color!! I'm NOT ordering it now though lol.

    I love that you have hands that don't match(usually). I do it all the time, but not for the same reason as you. It just takes me forever to do my manis. I started in Dec.2020. I've only done 7 manis and It takes me longer now then in the begining. LOL. I keep thinking I'll get faster, but I don't know why it takes me so long. I do spend a obsessive amt of time on my cuticles. But love your videos. Hoping to learn more so I can speed up my process. BTW, I just purchased PB hoping it will speed things up. Soon to find out!!!!

    Loved it and always look forward to Mondays and Thursdays so I can watch your videos.❤️ I do have a question - after removal because of the coconut oil, do you need to wash and dehydrate your nails and then wait a couple hours, or do you get right into your next mani immediately after removing?

    • @MarlaKris
      @MarlaKris  Před 3 lety +6

      Yep I use young nails swipe solution. It’s a great dehydrator. I’d advise against washing your hands bc nails absorb water and that can cause lifting later but definitely dehydrate well after soak off with any kind of oil!

I finally got peel base down thanks to you (I use over builder) and it's working like a charm. But I have to admit for me, what I miss most is just having MATCHING hands.

      Hey girly! I do wipe my top coat brush off in between nails every time. I can be lazy about the base coat BUT I do brush away excess powder from the nail kinda obsessively so I don’t usually contaminate my base brush. If you’re finding that you are messing up the base, definitely try removing as much excess powder as possible off the nails and wiping the brush off in between nails. That should prevent any contamination!

I definitely have a problem. I see a dip and have it 😂. And I want everything that glitters. 🤩Now for my other problem, removing glitter dips by soaking them off. I’m having the worst problem. Do you hav any sorcery with removing glitter dips. I also check my mail length the same way. 😂 I hope yo have a spectacular day 😘

      Hey girly! Thank you so much for your kind words! I do have a trick for glitter dip. Don’t out glitter on your natural nail. I will usually dip in clear or a base color that matches the glitter first, then layer the glitter over it. Much easier removal! Plus, less bulk bc I usually only need one sip of glitter in that case!

    I noticed that you never use protein bond but you do use primer when you use gel top coat. Can you talk about that in an upcoming video? Also, can you explain the difference between bond and primer? I noticed lately the terms are used interchangeably. If I search for protein bond primer comes up. Thanks, Marla!

    • @MarlaKris
      @MarlaKris  Před 3 lety +1

      Yeah, so the young nails protein bond is a primer. There are some products called “bond” and they are either a dehydrator or a base coat. So the terminology is super inconsistent. But if you’re using gel, you definitely want to use both a dehydrator and a primer.

    Hi. Loving you channel. Binged watch a bunch of your dip powder videos. Question 1. Why don’t you do a layers of natural before colour? & Question 2: How come you don’t build an apex when doing your dip powder nails?

    • @MarlaKris
      @MarlaKris  Před 3 lety +2

      Hey love! Thanks so much for watching! I find doing a layer of clear or natural can make my nails too bulky, so I skip that step. And I don’t build an apex bc I have short nails. If they were a bit longer, I would build a slight apex (the longer the nail, the higher the apex ought to be)

    **newbie warning** (edit:: never mind, I just figured this out from another video) Hi! I just discovered you and very much enjoying your content! The first few videos I watched you mentioned you like to use gel topcoat instead of using dip top coat. In this video you explained your removing process and said you don’t like using gel overlay bc you can’t get the same results with the rice soaking method and instead have to file it all off and you don’t like doing that w natural nails. And then you used dip topcoat here (at least I think you did but I’m not sure). So my question.. when instead of using the dip topcoat you opt for the dip with gel topcoat method will this soaking method work or do you have to file everything off as mentioned here? Basically wondering if by gel overlay you mean gel from top to bottom or if it also applies to when you opt out of using dip topcoat? I hope that makes sense

    Would dip liquid quality affect dip powder adhesion? Brand I always used in the salon has not worked twice now. It "blotches" and lumps and then I have to soak it off. It's happened twice now with Sparkle and Triple. Thick versus Thin? What do you think? Sorry to ask here but I'm not on Facebook.

    • @MarlaKris
      @MarlaKris  Před 3 lety +5

      No worries! It can.. usually it’s how quick the liquids dry. I have found, in the past, that sometimes that first dip can be temperamental BUT applying a coat of base first alone, letting that dry down, then applying the base again and dipping has made a whole world of difference for me with the evenness of my application.

    Do you ever let your base coat dry completely, don't dip at this point, but then apply base coat again, then dip. Some are saying this helps for color staying on longer. I want my manicure to last 2-3 weeks.
